>>750567668Well yes.
>>750567668
>>750568467>That piano isn't gonna play itselfshe could paint one that does
>>750569813Or get one one of those mechanical ones.
wasn't a fan of that ending. reality sucks.
Verso's ending doesn't work for me. I get the idea behind it and I overall agree with the sentiment, but in this I feel like her family are such colossal shitheads, she would be better off staying in the painting.
>>750572467Shut up doned and go back to the chair!
>AH BLOO BLOO I'M SCARRED AND MUTE, AND MY FAMILY SUCKS. I BLAME MYSELF FOR MY BROTHERS DEATH AND I'M THE REASON OUR FAMILY IS FRACTURED. MY SISTER IS WAY BETTER THAN ME AT EVERYTHING AH BLOO BLOO SO I'M GONNA LIVE IN BARBIE DREAMHOUSE WORLD FOREVER WHERE I'M A LITERAL GOD AND I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT BECAUSE REALITY SUCKS YEAH ESCAPISM.
>>750572956but enough about Aline
maellefags are delusional
>>750572956and this is supposed to make me think she's wrong how?
>>750567668she looks like she fucks her brotherand clea fucks renoir
>>750572576Renoir is good.Do it for Renoir.Don't make him sad.Also Alicia's ending is just nightmare fuel.
>>750573612She needs to face reality and suck it up. The family needed closure and to move on, which is what happens in Verso's ending. In Maelle's ending, she just abandons her real family to live in fantasy land because she believes there is nothing for her in the real world. The entire family has issues, but in Verso's ending at least they all come together as a family to mourn Verso, and everyone can move on and start to rebuild and heal. That never happens in Maelle's ending. She decides to stay in the Canvas forever, which know isn't healthy as it eventually corrupts the painter, so at some point Maelle will either go insane/lose control or simply die, but even if she dies, I guess the canvas world will live on since Verso's soul is still powering it. >>750572576The family is a bunch of shitheads, but they all have their own issues. The family is splintered and mourning/depressed. They never bothered to try and move on or accept Verso's death until the very end of the game if you pick Verso's ending.
>>750573741Under his "caring dad" facade, Renoir is a shithead as well that lacks basic empathy.
>>750573915>that lacks basic empathy.He doesn't.He just has his priorities straight.His wife not dying and his daughter not drowning herself in a make up world>>>>>some people
>>750567668I'd be interested to see if girls who played the game even understand why shes wrong.Maelle's last few hours in the game are 100% woman moments that every guy should see as the lunacy that they are.
>>750574047TRVKE
>>750573850>They never bothered to try and move on or accept Verso's death until the very end of the game if you pick Verso's ending.That's the fault of the narrative in my opinion, because throughout the story, the game never sold me on the idea that this dysfunctional family is able to reconcile, quite the opposite.The story only pulls a fast one in the ending, where the family is suddenly reconciled via narrative deus ex machine and the game just tells you to roll with it and trust that all is going to be fine, even though we never saw any character growth from the family itself.So for me, moral of the Verso's ending was less "you need to move on and reconcile with the family" and more "you need to suck it up and return to your abusive spouse, maybe this time around it'll work out".
>>750574047The best part of seeing people play this game is the exact moment they finish the game after choosing maelle and they realize they got duped into going along with a retarded teenager's wishes.Legitimate horror and you can feel them trying to understand why it was so awful.
>>750574315Being able to spend time with fake verso cockblocked aline's healing and therefore fucked over alicia's own healing.Alicia needed to be told to fuck off by her own brother.
>>750573915Unlike Aline who painted her "idyllic" daughter as a disfigured, blue, mute he paints his daughter in abstract as a figure soaring high above the clouds with jealous creatures trying to tear her down as she towers over them.He has seen how much the painting has caused Aliene to loose herself and worries, correctly, Alicia will do the same. Even the remenants of Verso's Chroma and soul trapped in the painting want to stop and move on. Both Aline's painted version and the boy version. Renroir was overly tough, but he absolutely had to be.
>>750574003He actually has zero empathy for his daughter, that's the kicker.His daughter literally tells him "I am a cripple, my mom is blaming me for everything, my sister is a turbocunt and my brother is dead. How do you expect me to deal with that?". And his response is "shut up, get over it and go home, I can't be bothered to deal with your actual problems, I want to solve this crisis as quickly as possible".
>>750574419Yeah, because spending time as a cripple with a mother that fucking hates you and a sister that is an asshole towards you instead is going to do wonders for Alicia mental healing.
>stay in fantasyland>return to fr*ncesorry verso we're staying
>>750574616His response is >BUT ALICIA YOU'LL DIEwhich overrides whatever bullshit alicia can come up with.
>>750574616No, he doesn't. This is one example, where the "tough love" approach absolutely doesn't work and you can see how he failed spectacularly to convince Alicia to return home. And apparently this family can only do tough love.
Can someone explain this to me (i'm a brainlet).So Renoir in the game is the painted version and so is the Paintress with their real versions being those withered corpses that act as final bosses of Act 2&3But those same withered corpses are encountered as bosses in the tower, together no less.Are they just painted version that clea made that also look like the real versions that also have painted version already in the game?Is that Thank you update they added worth another playthrough?
>>750574805Clea is harsh, but that's it.And Aline resents alicia for a reason, they need to work through it instead of>canvas>her room
>>750575031>Is that Thank you update they added worth another playthrough?You should DEFINITELY play the new dlc area, is its own standalone thing in act 3 and it's very fucking neat, verso (real) focused.
>>750574904Nah, it doesn't work. Because of the time dilation, she can live a happy life for decades in the painted world. And you missed the fact that Alicia IS suicudal at this point - she doesn't give a fuck about the real world that only causes her physical and mental pain and Renoir failed to give her a reason to care about about the real world.It's like telling the suicidal person "don't jump off that building, you'll die". Motherfucker, you need a better argument than this.

why couldn't verso just be happy with lune feet
>>750575901
>>750574047I'm not doing that ending for Alicia, but for the people in the painting. The Dessendres are not the only people who matter.
>>750575632she is 16, she's already gone through puberty
>>750575031Renoir in the snazzy coat and cool scar is the painted one, who is aligned with the paintress Aline (real world, withered looking thing).The Curator is the avatar of real Renoir, normal old guy wearing a vest.
>>750575031Also everything in the tower is a boss rush construct made by Clea (real) for fun
>>750575901He probably got the Lune cutscene too late and already settled with the ugly Gypsy out of fear of having fucked up the Lune route somehow
>>750575031Yeah, they're just other painted versions that Clea made. She's just that jacked.
Old friend you've traveled miles....
>>750576221But they're not realIts like you playing Skyrim 24/7 for 25 years so the NPCs can keep walking around
>>750576221they're already dead at that point
>>750575172>just let your daughter kill herselfretard
>>750576221Why did you make them slaves for the Dessendre girl then?
>>750576221Alicia's attempts at remaking them aren't good>remade Gustave>can't even give him his arm back
>that one autist is not online>able to have an actual thread about the gameamazing
Yeah yeah the plot or whatever, what about those Lune feet though? Haven't talked enough about those yet. They look quite tasty.
>>750576884"No">>750577030>conjecture >>750576916Actual fair point. Depending on if and how their original consciousnesses are intact or not, you could argue that the painting world was dead and gone the moment Renoir nuked the entire population at the end of act 2.
>>750577229>>750577085
>>750568467
>>750576224what about second puberty?
>>750577274I mean she's dangling those delicate beauties in the air like that expecting me not to jump ahead and rape her feet. Come on, men of culture like us footchads recognize the pristine state of such beautifully shaped soles and toes and their importance for our well being.
